The film is about five sisters who return to their home in Sicily to divide up the family art and furniture, following which all hell breaks loose! The family matriarch tries to draw straws for the “divisione” of the family things while the sisters bicker and the family heads toward an implosion. Skeletons fly out of the closet, and things go from bad to worse as the sisters make a series of bad decisions, leading to the ultimate tumultous conclusion in which the fate of the family hangs in the balance.

What the critics are saying about “Inheritance, Italian Style.”

"Outrageous comedy"
"Funny, entertaining"
"Fast paced"
"A battle between the sexes in which the dominant women of the family challenge the masculinity of their husbands (who do not seem well equipped to defend it)...”
"Anyone with an interest in indie comedies should give this film a watch."
--film critic Bill Meeker writing for Turnabout Media, June 20, 2014.

“Sicily, far from the stereotypes.”
“This is the Sicily that we love and that we would like people in the United States to get to know” (co-producer Viola Vaccarino).
